 Flimsy! April 22, 2007
7 out of 14 found this review helpful
I purchased this tripod for my Nikon 4500 digital which is a fairly compact camera, and should be right for this tripod. I found however that it would not support this camera, and legs would unravel, and the head sagged. The little Vanguard flex tripod is MUCH better for the same camera, and for far less money. My Canon S3 is a bigger, but still not an SLR by any means, and it simply can't be used with this tripod. I did try this with a SLR model I borrowed with equally disappointing results.
If you have a VERY small light camera with 3x zoom or less this may work. Otherwise I'd recommend buying one size larger than they recommend, except that gets very pricey very quickly. There are better and less expensive options available.
 Didn't hold my Canon A80 very well. April 15, 2007

I got this yesterday and today it's all packed up for return. I have a Canon A80 that I use a lot. The thought behind the Gorillapod made sense to me for enhancing the use of it indoors and out. The Gorillapod for Digital cameras has pretty short legs and it slid down a pole light with a smooth surface I attached it to. I figured I'd be able to take a 90 degree downward shot with the camera but it started to sag. The Canon A80 isn't a heavy Digital SLR...
I like the theory behind the Gorillapod that I'm gonna look for the SLR model on sale and buy it. The SLR model has 9 inch long legs and the digital Gorillapod has ~ 5 inch legs.
I'd probably like this version if it had longer legs. Tho that wouldn't fix the sagging problem.....sigh!

If you just need a tripod to level and steady your camera for a hands-off shot, this will do the trick. However, it seems to be very cheaply made for the price.
 Nice little package April 5, 2007

I can tell the makers put a lot of thought into it. I brought it on a camping trip and immediately was asked where I got it from. The only drawback I can see from a design standpoint is the optional to press somethig and have the legs straighten out automatically for those "I need a straight shot in the next 5 seconds" pose. It does take a little fidgeting to make sure the camera is looking straight otherwise and not crooked since everything on here moves. But again... well thought out product.
 Excellent product March 29, 2007

This tripod does just what it says. I use it mostly for back packing. I also have the smaller version for my point and shoot. It is plently heavy-duty enough for my SLR. I set it up on rocks, right on the dirt, and even wrap it around trees to take great pictures. At $50, its a little spendy, but still a great product.
